NEVER Openweight Championship: EVIL (c) vs. Tomohiro Ishii in a Lumberjack Match<\/h3>\n

A Wrestle Kingdom 16<\/em><\/strong> rematch is on the way in this one. EVIL<\/strong>, who defeated Tomohiro Ishii<\/strong> for the NEVER Openweight Championship at the event, will now defend against \u201cThe Stone Pitbull\u201d and likely have limited help via House of Torture<\/strong>. The reason being is that this will be a Lumberjack Match with the idea that Ishii can have a more even playing field. Their first match was filled with interference meaning EVIL will have to remind himself how to wrestle without his many helping hands. For those who may forget, the EVIL that was part of Los Ingobernables de Japon was a perfect fit for the NEVER division before he embraced the Bullet Club. <\/span>It may be a great hoss fight if House of Torture can’t get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n
